WAVING TO A TRAIN by Martyn Read
It's late June, in 1953. Two weeks ago, despite the torrential rain, the Coronation went off perfectly. Now, the skies are blue, the grass is green, and the sun is shining. This is Midsummer the way it should be - Midsummer as we'll always remember. There's time for a family picnic, and time to wave to the last train to London as it passes by in the bright evening sunshine. Savour these days, and remember that nothing lasts, least of all childhood.

Martyn Read? 221B?
Well I'm not what you'd call a royalist and after a week of sunshine it's back to normal in the UK but with 4 holiday days because of yet another Queen's celebration I'm looking for stuff to listen to.
I just noticed that there was a BBC version of this with Michael Jayston in the cast. Wouldn't mind hearing that.

Can you send me the link to the Fill-ins for Saturday Night Theatre. I accidentally deleted your post. Many Thanks! jimbBig time Boo-boo
I have messed around and deleted the ‘S’ folder from the library. I am in the process of restoring it but it will take several days. I’ll get Saturday Night Theatre up as soon as possible. jimbTo All Library Users
I have made a boo-boo somehow and accidentally moved all the ‘S’ Files to the bottom of the ‘R’ folder. Until I can figure out a way to fix this, this is where you can find them. Anyone with a solution, mail me off-list. Thanks jimbWould You Like Some More Saturday Night Theatres?
